Review

With nine CD releases under his belt, JP Jones is Rhode Island's most prolific indie recording artist. Best known for his folk-influenced songwriting, Jones' recorded work has been compared to Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler and Greg Brown.

Jones breaks new ground with the release of "Life and Death." Tackling genres as diverse as punk, funk and jazz, "Life and Death" is not for folk purists. It's a concept album about opposites: black and white, beauty and ugliness, birth, death, sex and salvation. The disc features 11 original songs and Jones' touring band, Rite Tite. The group's seven member line-up includes Jones on acoustic guitar and vocals, drummer Dave Lang, percussionist Matt Niebels, bass player Kurt Meyer, Mike Barrette on electric guitar, Louise Muller on violin and ("Dr.") Donn Watson on keyboards.

Jones remains the focal point. While the band's been gigging together in this present configuration for better than a year, at smaller venues Jones often plays a stripped-down set, solo, or accompanied only by one or two from the larger group. At the larger shows and on this disc it's the best of both worlds: great songs delivered by the writer - and an organic listening experience from a band whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts
